+- Issue #13590: On OS X 10.7 and 10.6 with Xcode 4.2, building
+ Distutils-based packages with C extension modules may fail because
+ Apple has removed gcc-4.2, the version used to build python.org
+ 64-bit/32-bit Pythons. If the user does not explicitly override
+ the default C compiler by setting the CC environment variable,
+ Distutils will now attempt to compile extension modules with clang
+ if gcc-4.2 is required but not found. Also as a convenience, if
+ the user does explicitly set CC, substitute its value as the default
+ compiler in the Distutils LDSHARED configuration variable for OS X.
+ (Note, the python.org 32-bit-only Pythons use gcc-4.0 and the 10.4u
+ SDK, neither of which are available in Xcode 4. This change does not
+ attempt to override settings to support their use with Xcode 4.)
